I recently made a 2m yagi tape measure antenna out of 1/2 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe to listen to some satellites pass overhead. I quickly realized that it would be easier to mount my radio on the antenna for ease of handling. This is an original design I made using Fusion 360. I needed a project to help me learn it ;)
I currently have a Baofeng UV-5R clipped to it, but it should work with most belt clip HT radios. I even made a coax clip which should help keep the cable tidy while using. It snaps tight and seems to stay in place really well on the pipe. Enjoy!

Here is the Fusion 360 file for anyone who wants to customize it.
